In today’s fast-paced foodservice industry, kitchen efficiency is essential. At Taylor Company, we’re committed to providing functional, yet cutting-edge equipment that empowers you to do your job even better. From improved kitchen operations to simplifying menu updates, flexible cooking zones to streamlined cleaning and maintenance, the Taylor Crown Series L858 Electric Two-Sided Grill is ready to produce high-quality menu items that keep your customers coming back time and time again.

Consistency in Every Dish

In an industry where consistency is key, the L858 eliminates guesswork with its one-touch menu selection feature. Set the time, temperature, and gap setting for multiple menu items, ensuring consistent cooking procedures no matter who is working the kitchen. 

Programmable controls further ease operations by automatically adjusting the cook plates and pressure to the appropriate settings for the selected menu item, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

With USB menu updates, the L858 easily adapts to seasonal promotions and menu changes, reducing the need for retraining and minimizing errors common in fast-paced foodservice environments.

Controlled Cooking Environments

One of the standout features of the L858 is its three independent cook zones. This design provides the versatility necessary to cook multiple menu items simultaneously—without compromising quality. This is especially beneficial for kitchens that manage a wide range of menu items, from breakfast sandwiches to thick burgers, as it completely eliminates cross-flavor contamination and allows for different cooking times and temperatures.

Each zone has its own heating elements—three in the lower cooking surface and two in the upper platen—ensuring even temperatures, quick recovery, and the ability to cook different menu items at different temperatures all day. During slower periods, operators can turn off zones to save energy and allow for flexible cleaning schedules.

Improved Product Quality

As customer preferences continue to evolve, and with stricter food safety regulations and growing demand for transparency, the L858 provides the control necessary to maintain high standards across menu items. 

The true parallel auto-leveling feature ensures the lower cook plate is perfectly parallel to the upper platen, achieving uniform cooking across all menu items. Coupled with precise automatic gapping, the L858 uses a three-point reference system to ensure accurate and consistent gap settings, which leads to consistently better-looking, better-tasting, and better-cooked products.

Improved Safety & Operating Efficiency

The L858’s upper platens can be manually lowered or automatically adjusted to a preset gap, offering flexibility during busy times. For safety, the platen automatically opens if power is lost or if an obstruction is detected. The slim platen design makes cleaning easier, while the wrap-around release material simplifies maintenance by protecting the cooking surface and keeping hot surfaces covered during cleaning.

Service and Support You Can Count On
